The Columbia correspondent Of the
News amd Coarier, referring to the COM
munication IN last weeks HERALD AND
News about the "Rion snuff box,'
says: "Thc correspondent thinks that
this is the alleged Orleans snuff box. lie
is correct. The snuff box bears the let
ter o., and q crown set in diamonds. 1t
has not the Orleans monogram. The
initial Is probably that Of Oscar L, king
of Sweden and Norway, born 1893, died
1859. Col. Rion's family knew tho his
tory of this snuff box, and his reference
to it, as q proof of his Orleans descent,
they considered an evidence that he was
under the influence of morphine when
he made his dying declaration" SO it
turns out that our correspondent was
correct about the snuff box.
